Be advised that this office has filed the above charge on the above-named defendant. You will be notified if your testimony is needed in Court. If your testimony is needed, please park in any city operated, non-metered lot and bring your ticket to our office to be validated.
There may be several court dates ahead for the defendant before the defendant decides to plead guilty or request a trial. One of these court dates could be a docket call. A docket is a list of cases as they appear on the court’s calendar. A docket call is when the defendant appears in court as their case appears on the docket. At that time, the defendant may set a date for a plea or set a date for other legal action.
Please complete and return the enclosed Victim Impact Statement in the self-addressed, stamped envelope provided. We need this as soon as possible, along with documentation, so we can advise the court of your damages or loss. Above all, this is your opportunity to provide information concerning the impact and effect of this crime.
I have also enclosed a Victim/Witness pamphlet with this letter. This pamphlet contains helpful information regarding your rights and a brief explanation of how the criminal justice system works.
Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being.

You may be contacted by the defense attorney or a private investigator hired by the defense attorney.

Additionally, you may request that an attorney from our office be present when you are being questioned.
